There was one issue - red light on dashboard didnt come up as it should be - i strip it and found that previous owner has but black tape on it - what a pr....! Now i have put back all bits but not sure how to reset dashboard dials for speedo, tacho, fuel and coolant temperature. i adjust speedo and tacho but no idea how to get in proper position fuel and temperature gauge. Any suggestions?

Technical Fiat Stilo dashboard reset
Do you mean the needles (pointers) are in the wrong positions on the fuel and temperature gauges?
Normal way to dismantle an instrument cluster is to pencil mark their positions on the dials before removing the needles.
There's a function in the dashboard section of Multiecuscan that resets the needles to zero. I've never used it so don't know if it resets everything to zero, or allows for the current temperature and fuel level.

thanks for idea! will try it on next days. i didnt know how these needles/pointers was fitted do just twisted then antclockwise just like on mercedes and they easely came off. issue regarding position waas realised only after fitting. donk! will try multiecuscan. does it worl on free version or it should be fully licensed?
You'll need the registered version for dashboard adjustments.
If you add your location to your profile so that it shows under your username, someone close to you with the registered version may offer to help.

Thanks for advice! There will be no need for help - after some research on google just download registered version and order on ebay kkl vag-com cable. Should arrive in few days. So i hope there will be results

you will need a ELM 327 v1.3 (or higher) interface instead of a KKL because this is done over CAN....
i have ELM 1.4 extended (chinese) - not sure will this one works. I have read a lot arround internet that chinese adapter cables need to be modyfied to get them working properly.
KKL has arrive today - will test both of them in next two days

you can check this easily from the outside of the interface - when you measure a resistance of aprox. 120 ohm between pin 6 and 14 of the OBD connector of the interface you should remove a 120 ohm resistor inside (code 121) - instructions can be found on the MultEcuScan website .

when you look towards the pins of the connector , wider side on top , the upper row counts from 8 to 1 from left to right,
the lower row counts from 16 to 9 from left to right .
When you look on the inside of the connector counting is 1-8 and 9-16 from left to right , this counting is also valid for the obd socket in your car.

i have done as intructed but something didnt work out - i put my voltmeter on ohm range 200. voltmeter pins together shows nearly 0. I have put pins on mentioned obd reader pins but it doesnt show anything at all - its like voltmeter pins wouldnt be attached to anything.
otherwise elm reader was able to connect to nearly all options except airbag, abs and something else

i have test today elm and vag-com cable today with registered multiecuscan v2.2.
was able to connect to lot of options except airbag and abs. also dashboard was working. i have try to reset dash needles to zerro. multiecuscan start to execute operation - all needle was moved down and in the same moment came up error message. tried that again but everytime the same error message.
Any suggestions?

When you don't measure aprox. 120 ohm your interface is ok, when you measure 120 ohm a resistor has to be removed on the pcb (code 121)

you can just test the display, led's and gauges (sweep) with the test function but you can't adjust the zero position with FES/MES, this has to be done mechanically.
After each power off/on the needles go to their base position (below the zero position) - from there on the needles have to be calibrated mechanically to go to their zero position after power on.
what error message is shown ?
after ignition switched off - does all needles must stay on "0" mark or a bit bellow?
no changes so far - so i have decide to remove resistor from pcb. Have done several searches but each one shows different resistore to remove - so a bit confused now. can someone point out resistor from my pcb??

after ignition off the needles drop below the zero position - adjustment is ok when they hit the zero position after key-on.

the resistor is probably directly under the largest white connector - have a close look between the pcb and the connector...
Did you measure aprox.120 ohm between pin 6 and 14 of the obd connector of the interface ?
after turning ignition on speedo and rpm needle are on "0" - thats easy to adjust. main issue is with fuel and temperature needles since they never stay on "0"
when i have measure resistence on 6 and 14 there was like there wouldnt be connection between them - just like voltmeter pins couldnt touch each other - so i didnt get any proper readings
